Looking for a hands-on maintenance role with room to grow?

As a General Maintenance Technician , you’ll help keep our facility safe, maintained, and running smoothly while learning alongside experienced mechanics and electricians. This is a great opportunity for someone with maintenance, construction, manufacturing, or mechanical experience who wants to build their skills and grow into a skilled trade career.

Employees who show initiative, reliability, and a willingness to learn may have opportunities for additional training through Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) and our Industrial Maintenance Technician (IMT) or Electro-Mechanical Technician (EMT) apprenticeship programs .

Benefits That Stand Out

We focus on taking care of our people — from day one.

• Day 1 Benefits – Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance. Worthington Steel covers approximately 87% of medical premiums.
• 401(k) – 3% automatic company contribution plus up to a 2% company match.
• Quarterly Profit Sharing – More Than Just a Bonus – Eligible employees receive profit-sharing payouts each quarter based on company performance. Your payout is tied to your base pay, so as your hourly rate increases, your profit-sharing opportunity increases too.
